I saw too many negatives for this boat to be on my list of candidates. That sink unit cover flapping about behind the helm seat during the hard drive was the final nail in the coffin. Even with rising prices I think we have a right to expect better design for £500K.

[@timk3939]

Looks reasonable value, and some nice design features. 4 litres per mile doesn't all that good for this size and type of boat. But in the grand scheme of things I guess fuel economy is only one factor. Maybe the engine is still running in.

[@Bottna]

Really nice boat. Great walkthrough. Thanks

[@DabenCaster]

pretty awesome yacht for family👍

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Nice one Alex! I've always enjoyed driving these Sealine's. Good to see a new model from them.

[@timschafer5320]

I was really impressed when I walked around this boat at the NEC in February, now I want one even more!!!

[@SirAdamMeek]

I was thinking the 20 or 30 plungers would be for losing them, and I laughed hysterically, but I think he's saying that you'd want duplicates in each place there are hatches

[@NickW0771]

Great indepth review. Good price point for this type of boat. Would say better than French counterparts / Bavaria

[@vikkiburr5984]

Should have gone with triple-outboards!

[@dazthesailor6363]

Price for that cheap built boat is crazy

[@joev3512]

Too little social space, bad fuel evonomy. Love the galley!

[@940DK2800]

so a slightly smaller SC42. 🙂

[@clifbradley]

Wait......Alex likes s dayboat? And its not Norwegian, Scandinavian, Finnish or Swiss? I don't believe it. Where is this boat from?

[@ironichumorist]

hella lot nicer than anything beneteau produces. and a very good hull.

[@pseyt]

Nice boat but I’d still rather have the SC35.

[@loki7441]

Pretty beige at the price. None of the class of the earlier Sealine's.

[@bigbopper143]

Pass, not for me
